Tiffany Hudson
Elevation Worship
“God captured my heart as a young girl during worship, and now all I want is for people to experience that same presence of God that marked me when I was young.”
Tiffany’s childhood was spent at the piano, playing the same four chords over and over until she felt the presence of God fill the room. Music and ministry were woven into the fabric of her life from the very beginning. After studying ministry at Southeastern University — where she began to hone her craft in songwriting after years of leading worship at her parents’ church — Tiffany took an internship with the worship team at Elevation Church in Charlotte, NC in 2017. What she thought was just checking a box to graduate became the place God would have her plant her life.
Tiffany Hudson has co-written some of the most powerful worship songs of our time. Her co-write “Graves Into Gardens” became the No. 1 Christian song in the country with hundreds of millions of streams. She is also the writer and voice behind anthems like “Wait On You”, “Never Lost”, “See A Victory”, “Jireh”, “More Than Able”, “Sure Been Good”, and “New Thing Coming” — songs that have shaped the sound of the global church.
As one of Elevation Worship’s most recognisable voices, Tiffany has helped the multi-Platinum–certified group earn a Grammy® Award, two Billboard Music Awards, seven GMA Dove Awards, and a K-LOVE Fan Award.
In 2023, Tiffany released her first solo endeavour, Hidden Here — an intimate, eight-track studio collection birthed from her own devotional time. After a season that had felt like a creative drought, she sat down at the piano and felt rivers coming out of her, filling journals and writing songs she felt God was inviting her to steward.
Her latest recording, “The Wonderful Blood”, carries what Tiffany describes as “a very triumphant feeling” — a celebratory declaration that we’ll never outgrow singing about the blood of Jesus and the sacrifice He paid for us.
Rich Wilkerson Jr
Lead Pastor • VOUS Church, Miami
We are thrilled to announce our next guest for Parable Conference 2026: Rich Wilkerson Jr — Lead Pastor of VOUS Church in Miami, Florida.
Rich is one of the most loved and respected voices in the Church today. Known around the world for his warmth, his wit, and his ability to make the Gospel feel alive and accessible, he has a gift for reaching people right where they are. Together with his wife DawnCheré, Rich leads VOUS Church — a thriving community in Miami built on faith, creativity, and a deep love for people and city.
Beyond the local church, Rich and DawnCheré founded VOUS Conference — one of the most anticipated gatherings in the global Church calendar. Each year, thousands of people including Church leaders from around the world come together in Miami to encounter God, grow in their faith, and be equipped for what’s ahead. It’s become a movement in its own right.
Rich also hosts the Mature Me podcast, where he sits down for honest, long-format conversations on faith, leadership, and what it means to keep growing. If you haven’t listened yet — you’re in for a treat.
We are so honoured to welcome Rich to Sydney, and we genuinely believe his ministry is going to speak powerfully to everyone in the room.

Peter & Laura Toganivalu
and the Parable Team
Peter & Laura
Peter and Laura carry a deep desire to see Jesus lifted high in their city, their nation, and beyond. More than anything, they desire to create spaces where people can encounter the presence of God, discover who they were created to be, and step boldly into His purpose for their lives.
In 2024, they planted Parable Church in Sydney with a simple yet powerful vision: to build a Christ-centred community where Jesus is at the centre of it all. Their hope is to see lives transformed, families strengthened, and a move of God ripple far beyond the walls of any building. They believe the best days for the Church are still to come, and they’re excited to be part of what God is doing in this new season.
Peter and Laura’s story has been shaped by over 35 years of growing up in and being part of Hillsong Church, where they served in many different capacities over the years. As Global Pastors of Hillsong Young & Free, they led youth and young adult ministries, ran large-scale events, and worship tours that impacted people around the world. Those years built their faith, stretched their capacity, and deepened their love for God’s Church, preparing them for the step of planting Parable.
Whether through worship, teaching, or simply gathering people together, their desire has never changed: to lift up the name of Jesus and create spaces where people can encounter His love and truth. Their hearts are full of faith for the future and all that God has in store.
